There is a reason they call Phoenix "The Valley of the Sun!" We get to glory in warmth and sunshine nearly the whole year round! We also get stunning desert landscapes, unique plants and wildlife, and spectacular sunsets. Those things go a long way toward making up for the fact that we rely on air conditioning most of the year -- haha! :) It's no wonder couples travel from all over the country -- sometimes from all over the world -- to get married here! Today I want to highlight just a few of the amazing Phoenix area wedding venues that truly bring out the desert beauty that so many couples come here to experience. I've shot weddings at all of these venues, so I can testify personally to how outstanding they are. Don't mind me as I gush a little!

Weddings at The Four Seasons at Troon North blend that Southwestern flair with service and sophistication. It's the best of both worlds!

El Chorro -- Paradise Valley, AZ
El Chorro is a little piece of history tucked right against Camelback Mountain, and I love it! El Chorro kind of has everything … expansive lawns for the ceremony, lush desert flora for portraits, and both indoor and outdoor venues for the reception. Every time I shoot a wedding at El Chorro, I'm always amazed all over again by how pretty it is!
